Background We sought to study the impact of surgical intervention on long-term outcomes in
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients who develop aortic valvular complications and/or have a …

Background: Progression of asymmetric dilated aorta associated with bicuspid aortic valve
(BAV) is difficult to evaluate conventionally. The aim of the study was to calculate the rate of …

Background: Using echocardiographic surveillance, many patients are diagnosed with
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) without significant valve dysfunction. Limited data are available …

Objective The bicuspid aorta is thought to have a higher risk of progressive dilation after
aortic valve replacement with a subsequently increased risk of adverse aortic events. Our …

Methods Forty patients (26 males, 14 females; mean age 59+/-11 years; range: 38-81 years)
who underwent aortic surgery for proximal aortic disease between 1996 and 2011, with …

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients often develop early valve degeneration
along with ascending aortic aneurysms (AAA). The standard approach involves surgical …

Objective To evaluate factors associated with aortic enlargement in patients with a bicuspid
aortic valve (BAV) and the impact of isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR). Design and …

OBJECTIVES Ascending aorta (AA) dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (AV) is
related both to genetic and haemodynamic factors. The aim of this study is to compare late …

BACKGROUND: The mechanisms are unknown why aortic stenosis (AS) progresses faster
in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) than those with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The …

Purpose We evaluated the long-term results of aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic
valve patients with or without surgical treatment of the ascending aorta. Methods A total of …
